THE WEEK'S BIG 3
The antisemitic social media cesspool known as Gab is in the news again as its founder issued a series of anti-Jewish diatribes directed at ADL and others, all the while questions are raised about a GOP gubernatorial candidate’s support for the platform. There’s growing concern and outrage over CPAC’s decision to host Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who just last week made derogatory comments about nations who “mix races.” The U.S. Department of Education will investigate the University of Southern California after a Jewish student claimed she resigned from student government because she endured harassment over her pro-Israel views.
Read on for more on these headlines, news you can use to fight hate and the latest info about ADL from around the country.

He said he wanted to prevent Hungary from becoming a ‘mixed-race’ country, adding that countries with a high level of racial mixing are no longer countries. Zsuzsanna Hegedus, who is Jewish and his long-time ally and adviser, resigned. The Romanian foreign minister also criticized the remarks.” Bloomberg News:

ADL tweet: We echo concerns of the Jewish Communities in Hungary (@Mazsihisz) and @StateSEAS regarding PM #Orban’s speech in Romania, where he denounced so-called ‘mixed race’ nations. Such comments, especially by a head of state, amplify xenophobia & racism and should be soundly condemned.
